Adobe, who owns Macromedia and its products tends to be aggressive about installing all sorts of auto-updaters, quick start features, as well as un-needed and un-wanted extras. A lot of this stuff can be disabled in MSConfig, but it never hurts to tell Adobe what you think.

Thank you for the welcome!
I haven't complained but I wish I had the time too! I think it's just wrong what these big companies get away with just because people don't have all the time it takes to complain. It reminds me of when AOL gave a free month of service "so you can try it to see if you want to keep it", when what they were really doing was getting your credit card info and relying on you forgetting to call and cancel before the date they charge you. My guess is that 85-90% are so busy they forget and get charged whether they want the service or not. I went years playing their game. I would set reminders in my phone and on my computer 2 days before the "charge" date, call to cancel knowing they would offer me another 3 months. Ha, ha AOL. They would give it to me for as long as I would play their game (years). I only forgot 1 time (cost me $50) but they would usually connect me with sister companies that had other offers. Once they offered me a free months membership to a club that said sign up and we will send you coupons for $10 of free gas each week for months. I said "You get commission for signing me up right?", "yes" he said. I said "Do you get your commission whether I cancel before you charge me or not?" He said "yes". I said "If I do it and before we hang up cancel right away will you still send me the coupons?", he said "yes". So I did it and got a bunch of free gas. LMFAO. Screw you big corporations that prey on peoples hectic lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
